Noise and Vibration

Our acoustical engineering services include noise and vibration screening and impact analyses in the following categories:

• Civilian airports
• Department of Defense (DoD) airfield installations
• Joint use airfields
• Military training routes (MTR) 
• Special use airspaces (SUA) and military operating areas (MOA)
• Sonic booms
• Munitions use and blast noise
• Ground vehicles
• Railway vehicles
• Construction operations 

We have extensive experience performing environmental noise characterization and impact analysis for NEPA projects for both civilian and military aviation actions. 

For areas experiencing noise impacts and/or annoyance due to noise, we provides noise mitigation and abatement solutions such as operational mitigations and outdoor sound barriers.

Noise modeling software systems supported include:

• AEDT
• Noisemap
• MR_NMAP
• AAM
• BooMap
• PCBoom
• SARNAM
• BNOISE
• TNM
• FHWA rail noise and vibration models

Noise analyses performed adhere to the following standards and impact criteria:

• FAA Order 1050.1F (Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures)
• DoDI 4715.13 (DoD Noise Program)
• AFI 32-7070 (Air Force Noise Program)
• FTA Report No. 0123 (Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual)
